It had semi-sheer, buildable color coverage with a frosted sheen that didn’t emphasize pores, but it is a more noticeable highlighter on. The texture of the powder was soft, smooth, and blendable on the skin and never looked cakey or powdery. The version in this standalone compact was less sparkly/metallic compared to the one in a previous holiday palette. On my skin, I wore it as a highlighter, and it lasted for seven and a half hours before fading along the edges.

I’m liking it! It’s really pretty. I’m placing it on my wish list. But, since their are so many dupes, I’ll see how the rest of the collection does in the end.
Looking forward to seeing what you end up getting from this launch, Nicole!
This is a beautiful, natural highlighter. Glad I got it on my must get list.
Awesome! 🙂
I DO like this. But I have to tell you how much I LOVE the eye look you’ve been rocking with that Cle de Peau palette!!! It must be a really great one, I look forward to your review on it. ?
Haha! Thank you, Nancy!
It’s very pretty. I like the peachy tint to it.
It is a lovely shade!
Very luminous!
Agreed!
Oh pretty! Might be just the thing to perk up pasty winter skin
It will definitely brighten!
I like this one, but once again, it’s probably too warm.
I think it may read cooler on cooler skin tones, but it may still be a warmer shade overall.
I think it looks gorgeous on you, but you have beautiful youthful skin, I wonder how it would look on more mature skin? When you say warmer dose it go Orange? I thank you for such great reviews you have become my go to make up reviewer when something catches my eye.
It doesn’t go orange – definitely pink!
